Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has explained his response of ‘who’s that’ when asked about his ex-girlfriend and colleague, Ghanaian actress Nadia Buhari.
In a recent podcast, he revealed that his ‘who is that’? was simply an expression of respect for his current partner and Nadia’s husband.
According to the actor, glorifying conversations about his previous relationship with Nadia Buari is disrespectful to their current partners.
“Which husband or wife wants to hear about their partner’s ex?” he asked on Starr FM’s Starr Drive with Foster Agor.
The ‘Who’s that’ response popped up on a podcast hosted by media personality, Toke Makinwa.
He claimed that the podcast presenter asked him explicit questions about Nadia Buari, so in order not to answer, he quizzed the host with the “Who is that?” response, “I didn’t want to offend a married woman with four children, so it was better to leave the past in the past.” “I must respect both my current partner and Nadia’s husband.”
Jim Iyke and Nadia Buari were frequently spotted together on various public occasions in the past, generating speculations about a romantic relationship. Their regular appearances together sparked gossip columns and social media debates.
However, a recent podcast interview shed insight into the apparent schism between the actor and ex-girlfriend, Nadia Buari.
Jim Iyke’s response, claiming not to know Nadia Buari, raised questions about the nature of their past relationship. The actress is now married with four kids.
